For the Gricers...975025.

Caroline being a Southern Region Observation Saloon being propelled by a very smoky DRS (Direct Rail Services Ltd) 37 on p11.
Any reason why she was at P11 in PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains)?

Wouldn't that be a tad unusual for route knowledge?
I'll try and see where she went, must have been somewhere unusual.

Certainly rare to see southern stock in PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains).

Saw that on RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) this morning, did wonder what it was, down to Newbury, up to Oxford, down to Bristol, eventually finishing at Cardiff, something like that, certainly an odd routing.
